Disabling banshee from automatically starting


I know it's trying to be helpful and all but I'm finding it incredibly annoying that Banshee starts up every time I insert an audio CD into the drive. My question is: how do I disable this? There's no manpage for banshee (that I can find anyhow).

It's bad enough that SUSE (well, Novell, probably) decided that every single CD that is loaded into a drive must be played right NOW but when I realize that the software is starting, and wait until the full GUI pops up so I can kill it, it doesn't actually die. One must open a console session to find the banshee process and "kill -9" ("-1" and "-15" don't seem to do the trick when it autolaunches) the darned thing.

Any pointers on where to look for information no how to defeat banshee's autolaunching?

TIA...

It has been years since I have had to deal with this- so please forgive my rustiness----- there is a way to set startup programs, I used it back in the day to get wifi working on a SuSE laptop- I forget exactly where in the file hierarchy you'll find it, but google 'startup scripts, suse' and it should help- you're going to need to get your hands dirty in the command line.
